I wrote a ~2KB executable file HTTP file downloader without Libc
Fitting an HTTP client into 2KB without libc is demoscene-grade constraint craft.

FluxDown pairs a Rust/Tokio transfer engine with a Flutter front end and a browser extension to offer multi-protocol downloads, token-bucket bandwidth control, IDM-style segmentation, and SQLite-backed resume. The implementation choices promise real throughput gains, but this competes directly with mature tools (aria2, qBittorrent, IDM) and the landing page currently highlights only a Windows build — solid engineering, not a category redefinition.
Power users and technically inclined people who download large files or torrents, privacy-conscious users, and those who want a faster alternative to browser downloads

Zero heap allocations, io_uring, span-based parsing: built for AI agent armies.
Go-style ergonomics in Rust claiming 2-3x speed gains over Hyper and Actix.
Browse remote ZIPs instantly using HTTP range requests instead of downloading.
Raw QUIC streams from Node without building from source or reverse proxies.
Three UIs (TUI, terminal, web) simplify MitM debugging, but mitmproxy and Burp already own this.
